Title:
The Impacts on Treatment & Patient Quality-of-Life with 3D Exoskeleton Design & Fabrication at Point-of-Care
Description:
Colorado Manufacturing Woman of the Year, and voted one of the Most Influential Women in 3D Printing, Diana Hall presents case studies of innovative treatments, improved healing outcomes and quality-of-life for patients requiring support or immobilization through bespoke exoskeleton design and point-of-care device fabrication in top hospitals and sports medicine clinics, including Olympic and NFL athletes. From custom offloading walking boots for diabetic foot and wound care, patient-specific designs for advanced fracture healing technologies like ultrasound bone stimulators, reduction of opiod use with pain management technology, and improvements in complication and viral transmission rates, additive manufacturing can improve quality of care and patient healing outcomes.
